So tired of this

My 19 month old DD started with the rattley chest almost 6 months ago and it's been an ongoing cycle of breathing treatments, allergy meds, antibiotics, etc. we get 1-2 weeks of clear breathing then it's back. We've been told she can't be tested for asthma or allergies yet but I feel so bad for her and am at my wits end. Do we need to go to a pulminologist? An allergist? Any advice?

Yep.. I was just going to post I am so tired of this. I feel so bad for DS. His viral induced asthma flares have come every 4 wks since september. A couple of them were not a big deal. Up the nebs and maintence meds n then good. Others put us in the ER or on prednisone. Every. 4. weeks. We are there right now. Two weeks getting better, two weeks of clear breathing and then flare again. We did see a ped pulmanologist to rule out other stuff but he didnt change the plan much other than add singular. Not sure yet if its helping. Didnt stop this flare anyway.I do like our asthma specialist and the ped pulm better than the reg ped. MUCH more knowledgeable. Take care of yourself too. Ask for help from family.
